The Defendant Bears Up Against His
Troubles-The Testimony.
New York, June 2S.-Thirty- two days
of trial, such as Jake Sharp has under
gone in the very heat of summer, and at
his time of life, is an ordeal that cannot
be safely passed, yet has this old man,
with all his manifold physical ailments,
borne up bravely dnder IL. He was no
spryer than usual when he came into
court this morning, nor did he appear to
be any weaker than usual. He said to a
reporter that the effect of DIR. Loomis
prescription of yesterday was to make
him sleep better than he had at any time
since his commitment TO jail.
M. Dayton, of the senate clerical force
was recalled to testify in reference to the
general surface railroad bill of 1883.
John NJ. Scribner was next the witness
As soon as he took the chair Judge Bar
rett warned Mr.. Parsons against repiti
tions. His honor said his object was to
save valuable time, and that he had nc
intention to hamper the defense in any
way.
Mr.. Parsons read the part of the su
preme court commission that recon-
mended the Broadway railroad which held
that the annual rental of $4,000 and pei
centage was a very liberal arrangement
and heavy burden for city road oni,
two and half miles long.
Mr.. Scribner was then asked II he haS
heard the name of "Billy" Maloney men

Daring Escape of Desperate Criminal
from Jail in Dakota.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 28.-The Pioneer
Press has news from Blackfoot, Dakota,
of most daring and successful jail de-
livery there last night. Henry Nickerson,
imprisoned for torse stealing, was fur
nished with a revolver by his wife, who
had been visiting him daily. With the
revolver Nickerson held mp the guard
who had accom- panied his wife to the cell
The pair disarmed the guard and locked
him in the cell. He then liberated A. j.
Woods, negro wife murderer, and one
Williams, also convicted of murder, and
both sentenced to be hung July 22, and
another horse thief, and locking up the
rest of the watchmen the entire party es-
capped to the outside, where horses were
awaiting them. Woods, weighing two
hundred and fifty pounds, took to the
brush on foot. The others fled on horse
back. The sheriff, returning an houl
later organized posse and soon recap
tured Woods, but was still in pursuit Of
the others at last accounts. AS the crin-
inals are armed a desperate fight il
likely.

San ANTONIO, June 2S.-To-day at noon
the grand Jury of Medina county brought
in an Indictment against Sheriff F.
Thumm, charging him with murder in the
first degree, for killing j. W. Hildebrand,
the young San Antonio real estate
dealer and lawyer who met with such a
horrible and tragic death at Castroville
last week. As the case cannot be for
mally tried upon its merits until the Sep
tember term of the district court, mo-
ton for habeas corpus hearing has been
made before Judge Tom Paschal, for the
purpose of securing bail if possible,
which will no doubt be heard
without delay. In the meantime the
sheriff is in the custody of Constable
Galbraith. 1t is also surmised that in
September Judge Paschal would post
pone the case for trial to some other
county on change of venue. While the
killing of so estimable a young man as
Mr.. Hildebrand has created no excitement
and no threats of vengeance, there is yet
very decided public opinion here at least
that the killing was no less than murder
most foul.

A Man Voluntarily Surrenders Who says
He is Train Robber.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SHERMAN, June 2S.-This evening, a
German about 40 years of age, giving
his name as Jim jackson, who has been in
the city only a few days, was 60
inpA about the streets in drunken
condition, and, approaching Mr.. j
Long, we'll known citizen, told him
that he was one of the robbers that had
recently robbed the train at Flatonia, and
that he wanted to give himself up to the
sheriff, and turn states evidence against
several of the robbers, whom he would
point out. Jackson was turned over to
the police officers, who placed him in the
city lookup to await further develop
ments. Jackson is evidently under an
assumed name, as he is German, and
speaks English very brokenly. He states
that he was with Sam Bass when he was
killed, near Round Rock; also,
that he was walking through
the coach at the Flatonla
train robbery when one of the other
robbers struck the lady over the head
with pistol, and that this is the reason
he is willing to betray them, as it was a
cowardly act. He states that he left
TAYLOR about two weeks ago, but refuses
to answer other questions regarding the
robbery. The case will be thoroughly In
vestigated by the officers and other arrests
will probably be made soon.

New Project of a Railway from Austin to
Cameron.
Special Telegram o the Statesman.
TAYLOR, June 2S-A railroad meeting
by the principal property owners of Tay-
lor was held in the opera hall last evening
Speeches were made by the principal ora
tors present. An organization was eff
fected, and committees appointed with
power to act.
The intention is to offer inducements
to the Gulf, Colorado d. Santa Fe to run a
branch of their line into Taylor; and the
instructions to the committee were, to see
the railroad committee of Austin and
make arrangements to act in connection
with them.
By an examination of map of the
countrv we find that, on a direct line from
Cameron, county-seat of Milan county,to
Austin, would pass through Tay-
lor. and railroad built on
this line would open up one of the finest
agricultural countries in the state, land this
line might be extended on, as proposed,
through Marlin into Navarro county and
connection with their main line TO the
north. Another connection could be built
from Sommerville to Taylor, where CON
nection could be had with their Mont
gomery branch TO the east Texas pineries,
and also with their main line to the gull
| coast.
The connections named would un-
doubtedly give Austin much better out
| let than she would ever have by the Cot
ton Belt line; besides, the Santa Fe is a
wealthy, independent corporation, and
believes in branching out, and the
more arteries she has the better support
it gives to her main lines.
The officers of the company have in
timated to Taylor capitalists that they
will entertain propositions for building
into Taylor, and our people think Austin
will lose good thing if she don't see hel
advantages and take hold of it. A line

The following named directors were
elected: John Martin, Frank Fitzhugh,
L. P. Harrison, S. p. Wright, E. G. Seeile,

stockholders. A proper notice will be
served when the proposition will be given
and the road pushed to completion.

Badly Treated.

ST.. LOUIS, June 2S.-A. B. Bird, of
Wichita, Kan, relates horrible story of
wrong and suffering endured while CON-
fined in prison at Del Norte, Mexico, last
winter. Mr.. Bird was manager of an
operate company travelling in that coun
try, and while playing in Del Norte the
whole company were arrested on iimsy
pretext. They were denied hearing, and
